Enrollment in this course is by invitation only

Welcome to Designing a Data Platform Solution (AZ-301t02). This course is part of a series of four courses to help students prepare for Microsoft’s Azure Solutions Architect technical certification exam AZ-301: Microsoft Azure Architect Design. These courses are designed for IT professionals and developers with experience and knowledge across various aspects of IT operations, including networking, virtualization, identity, security, business continuity, disaster recovery, data management, budgeting, and governance.

This course contains the following three modules:

Module 1 - Backing Azure Solutions with Azure Storage

This module describes how many Azure services use the Azure Storage service as a backing store for other application solution in Azure. The module dives into critical considerations when using Azure Storage as a supplemental service for an all-up Azure solution.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Determine the ideal pricing option for Azure Storage based on a solution’s requirements.

• Identify performance thresholds for the Azure Storage service.

• Determine the type of Storage blobs to use for specific solution components.

• Use the Azure Files service for SMB operations.

• Identify solutions that could benefit from the use of StorSimple physical or virtual devices.

This module covers the monitoring and automation solutions available after an Azure solution has been architected, designed and possibly deployed. The module reviews services that are used to monitor individual applications, the Azure platform, and networked components. This module also covers automation and backup options to enable business-continuity scenarios for solutions hosted in Azure.
